See Brady v. Ford, 451 Pa. Super. 363, 679 A.2d 837 (1996). For special provisions governing actions pursuant to the Protection From Abuse Act, see Sections 6106(b) and (c) of the Domestic Relations Code, 23 Pa.C.S. 6106(b) and (c).

10 246 Rule 207 GENERAL Rule 207. Representation in Magisterial District Court Proceedings. (A) In magisterial district court proceedings: (1) Individuals may be represented by themselves, by an attorney at law, or by a representative with personal knowledge of the subject matter of the litigation and written authorization from the individual to appear as the individual s representative. (2) Partnerships may be represented by an attorney at law, a partner, or by an employee or authorized agent of the partnership with personal knowledge of the subject matter of the litigation and written authorization from a partner to appear as the partnership s representative. (3) Corporations or similar entities and unincorporated associations may be represented by an attorney at law, by an officer of the corporation, entity, or association, or by an employee or authorized agent of the corporation, entity, or association with personal knowledge of the subject matter of the litigation and written authorization from an officer of the corporation, entity, or association to appear as its representative. (B) A representative, employee, or authorized agent: (1) must provide written verification of personal knowledge of the subject matter of the litigation, and (2) may take no action on behalf of a party until the written authorization required under paragraph (A)(1), (2), or (3) is filed with the court. (C) Admission pro hac vice in accordance with Pennsylvania Bar Admission Rule 301 shall proceed by request, the disposition and content of which shall conform with the requirements of Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure Official Note: This rule is intended to permit a non-lawyer representative, employee, or authorized agent to appear on behalf of an individual, partnership, corporation or similar entity, or unincorporated association, but not to allow a non-lawyer to establish a business for the purpose of representing others in magisterial district court proceedings. It is intended that the designation of a non-lawyer representative, employee, or authorized agent to represent a party is to apply only on a case-by-case basis. A party may not give blanket authorization for a non-lawyer representative, employee, or authorized agent to represent the party in all cases involving the party. As to personal knowledge of the subject matter of the litigation see Pa.R.E. 602 and Comment. A business organized as a sole proprietorship may be represented in the same manner as an individual under paragraph (A)(1). See rules in Chapter 800 as to representation of minors and incapacitated persons by guardians. To gain admission pro hac vice pursuant to Pa.B.A.R. 301, the applicant must seek administrative approval by the IOlTA Board prior to the sponsor s request for the applicant s admission before the magisterial district court. The disposition and content of the request is governed by Pa.R.C.P.

Rule Attorney of Record; Notices. (A) An attorney at law shall be deemed the attorney of record for a party if and only if the attorney files with the magisterial district court a written statement acknowledging that he or she represents the party in the proceeding. The written (378018) No. 491 Oct. 15 Copyright 2015 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
11 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION 246 Rule 208 statement must include the attorney s name, mailing address, and Supreme Court of Pennsylvania attorney identification number. (B) An attorney of record for a party shall remain the attorney of record for that party until: (1) the attorney of record gives written notice to the magisterial district court and the party that he or she is withdrawing as the attorney of record for the party, or; (2) another attorney becomes the attorney of record for the party in accordance with paragraph (A). (C) Except as otherwise provided in these rules, when a party has an attorney of record or is represented by a non-lawyer representative under Rule 207, and when a rule specifies that a notice is to be given or mailed to the party, a copy of the notice shall also be given or mailed to the attorney of record or the nonlawyer representative. Official Note: Paragraph (B) provides for the withdrawal of an attorney of record. Nothing in this rule requires leave of court or that another attorney become the attorney of record before an attorney may withdraw. But compare Pa.R.C.P. No. 1012(b). Nothing in paragraph (B) is intended to affect an attorney s ethical duty to his or her client. See Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct Rule Paragraph (C) makes clear that copies of all notices must be given or mailed to all parties of record as well as to all attorneys of record and non-lawyer representatives. See Rule 207 regarding the designation and authorization of a non-lawyer representative. The provisions of this Rule adopted June 1, 2006, effective October 1, 2006, 36 Pa.B Rule 208. Repealed Acts of Assembly not to Continue as Part of the Common Law. No Act of Assembly pertaining to civil practice and procedure before magisterial district judges or to appellate proceedings with respect to judgments and decisions of magisterial district judges in civil matters which was repealed by 2 of the Judiciary Act Repealer Act, Act of April 28, 1978, P. L. 202, No. 53, shall continue as part of the common law of Pennsylvania under 3(b) of that Act. The provisions of this Rule 208 adopted December 16, 1983, effective December 1, 1983, 13 Pa.B Rule 209. Continuances and Stays. A. Continuances may be granted for cause or by agreement. B. Continuances shall be to a specific time and date. The magisterial district judge shall note continuances on the docket and shall promptly give or mail to the parties written notice of continuances. C. Except for good cause shown, (368335) No. 468 Nov
12 246 Rule 210 GENERAL (1) not more than one continuance shall be granted to each party, and (2) the aggregate of all continuances shall not extend the date of the hearing: (a) beyond 90 days from the date of filing the plaintiff s complaint in proceedings commenced pursuant to Rule 303, or (b) beyond 30 days from the date of filing the plaintiff s complaint in proceedings commenced pursuant to Rule 502. D.

E. Continuances and stays shall be granted in compliance with federal or state law, such as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act., 50 App. U.S.C. 501 et seq. Official Note: This rule was amended in 2005 to consolidate the provisions of former Rules 320 (relating to continuances in civil actions) and 511 (relating to continuances in possessory actions) into one general rule governing continuances. The limitations set forth in subdivision C are intended to ensure that these cases proceed expeditiously. The grounds set forth in subdivisions D and E, of course, are not intended to be the only grounds on which a continuance will be granted. The provisions of this Rule 209 adopted March 15, 1994, effective upon publication, 24 Pa.B. 1675; amended December 16, 2004, effective July 1, 2005, 35 Pa.B. 10; amended September 9, 2008, effective October 1, 2008, 38 Pa.B. 5163; amended August 14, 2013, effective in 30 days on September 13, 2013, 43 Pa.B Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (338929) to (338930). Rule 210. Practices Prohibited.

13 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION 246 Rule 211 (2) Adding parties after the previous judgment. (3) Attachment proceedings previous to judgment. (4) Entry of a judgment by warrant of attorney or by confession of judgment. Official Note: In keeping with the policy of making the procedures in actions before magisterial district judges as simple and nontechnical as possible and in view of the time limitations imposed elsewhere in these rules, it was thought desirable to prohibit specifically the practices mentioned in the four subdivisions of this rule. See also Rules 204 and 381. The provisions of this Rule 210 adopted April 5, 2002, effective January 1, 2003, 32 Pa.B Rule 211. Abolished, Consolidated, or Changed Magisterial Districts; Subsequent Filings. When these rules specify that a party is to file or serve an ancillary or supplementary action in the magisterial district court which rendered a judgment or issued other process, but that court no longer exists or its magisterial district boundaries have been changed, the party may file or serve the ancillary or supplementary action only in the magisterial district court in which the original record of the proceedings containing the judgment is filed. Official Note: This rule provides a procedure for filing or serving an ancillary or supplementary action, when the action should be filed or served in the magisterial district court which rendered the judgment or issued other process, but that court has been abolished, consolidated or otherwise changed. Such actions may include a request for order of execution or a request for a certified copy of a judgment (see Rule 402), an objection to levy or other property claim (see Rule 413), a request for order of possession (see Rule 515), or a request for entry of satisfaction (see Rule 341), among others. The rule provides that, under these circumstances, the action may be filed or served only in the magisterial district court that has become the official custodian of the original record, even though that court did not render the judgment. The provisions of this Rule 211 adopted April 5, 2002, effective January 1, 2003, 32 Pa.B Rule 212. Design of Forms.

Official Note: See Rule 202 for definition of subpoena. Compare Pa.R.C.P. No The magisterial district judge has discretion to limit the scope of subpoenas to persons, documents, or things that are relevant to the cause of action before the magisterial district judge.

Magisterial district judges may issue subpoenas throughout the Commonwealth. Magisterial district judges shall not issue subpoenas in blank. B. Upon the request of a party proceeding pro se, the authorized representative of a party, or an attorney of record, the magisterial district judge may issue a subpoena signed and under the seal of the magisterial district judge.

Filing under this paragraph may be accomplished by sending a copy by facsimile transmission (339778) No. 410 Jan. 09 Copyright 2009 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
15 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION 246 Rule 215 (E) If a subpoenaed witness is under the age of 18, the parent or guardian of the witness shall be served with a copy of the subpoena in the same manner as prescribed in paragraph (C). Official Note: When issuing a subpoena, the magisterial district judge has discretion to limit the scope of the subpoena to persons, documents, or things that are relevant to the cause of action before the magisterial district judge. Paragraph (D) provides for filing by facsimile transmission. It is the intent of these rules that filing documents by facsimile transmission is permitted only when expressly provided for in the rules. Paragraph (D) also provides for use of a form promulgated by the Court Administrator of Pennsylvania. Paragraph (E) provided that parties choosing to subpoena witnesses under the age of 18 must alert the magisterial district court of the witness age and are responsible for any additional service costs.

Rule 215. Advanced Communication Technology. Magisterial district judges may authorize the use of advanced communication technology during any civil proceeding or action governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure for Magisterial District Judges. Official Note: This rule was adopted in 2008 to specify that magisterial district judges may use advanced communication technology in their courtrooms during adversarial proceedings. In an ex parte proceeding, such as an action pursuant to the Protection From Abuse Act, 23 Pa.C.S , or 42 Pa.C.S. 62A01 62A20 (providing for protection of victims of sexual violence or intimidation), magisterial district judges also may permit the use of advanced communication technology.
